FUNKeLegitimately curious, would those anti-cowmangler prefer it remain banned forever for the remainder of time until it is adjusted by valve? We all know valve will takes months (nay, years) to change it regardless of if it's whitelisted, but at least by having it whitelisted, you can channel that anger of the weapon's balance into constructive incentive for valve to step on the gas with it- whereas before rebalancing the weapon might not have been high on the to-do list.
there has already been plenty of good constructive feedback in this thread and when it was unbanned/rebanned the last time, and i'd rather not sacrifice my enjoyment or the level of competition just so the game can be the same as it is now but with the cowmangler in it
